Descorna de bovinos utilizando grampos de metal na dermorrafia

Resumo

Metal clamps were used in dermal suture of fifty crossbred cattle, of various weight, ranging from 1.5 to 5 years of age; after esthetic dehorning. The animals were operated on differents farms from Goiás State, Brazil, during 1995 and 1996 and evaluated after surgery. Four animals showed serous exudation two days after surgery. One animal had unilateral sinusitis and in other three there were wound dehiscence. The technique proposed was fast; skin divulsion was easier, there was a good hemostasy and cicatrization was esthetic. Metal suture is fast and easily applied.
